What am I doing wrong? I shot the first half & it was great! Then later on I do the other half in the same vein, just over a little bit. I hit it good and got a good blood draw back, (so I think) so I push some in slowly and check it again and still getting blood. I slowly shoot the rest and check it like 3 more times because im very hard to hit. Good drawback every time, only this time its burning a little, which tells me im missing! This has happened to me soooo many times and makes me mad! After all done I start welting & itching a little. This only happens when I miss. But I wasn't missing!! what am I doing wrong? I didn't feel nothing at all like the first shot. Also, its like I gotta inject in a large vein when it comes to heroin for some reason or my skin welts up like im missing. BUT IM NOT!! I can hit any size vein with roxi's & im fine. Does anyone else have this problem or something like it? Any feedback would be great! Everytime this happens I don't feel a thing and im wasting it! Thanx in advance!

Sometimes you can be half in, half out of the vein. Sometimes you can go right through the vein. There are tricks such as slightly pulling back the plunger to create an air pocket before you think you're in the vein, then push in the direction of the vein until the blood shoots into the barrel. This way, you know exactly when you hit the vein and won't push all the way through. Are you using a tourniquet? I'd do that, maybe drink plenty of fluids, do some weights even have a shower or something to help get your veins up. It sounds to me like you're partially missing, but not completely missing. It should never hurt to inject.
Are you tying off? If so are you untying after registering? If I stay tied off while pushing the plunger I have problems with it leaking back out(at least this is what I have surmised is happening, too much backpressure I guess?) Also, re-registering over and over again can cause problems for me, often trying to re-register with one hand ends up doing more harm than good and once I register the first time I just make sure to hold it steady until I'm done.
